[Intro: Stizzle]

Hey, these are the days and times

When people get away with crime

A bearer has been born and about to be reborn

Put him on, hehehe Put him on!


[Verse 1: Keybone]

Papa and Mama met, all for y'all to see magic

You got to see more when you look at it

I'm finding me everyday till I'm good at it

I tell myself before you do, so I know too

When you are complimenting, I know it's so true

At a younger age, Mama would be like "I told you"

But on another page, I sag a little

Papa told me " Son, be civil", but I brag a little

About being a Nigerian, growing up in the cities

And showing all who were with us through the struggle and hurdles

It's a new us, that baffles those who knew us

For you and yours, after you have labored, stay prayerful

I meditate on the laws, so as I journey through this dreaded path

It's a plus for where I'm headed at

My first birth certificate, I shredded that

The game has been taken by me, I wedded that


[Chorus: Keybone]

I was born like this

But I had to be reborn like this

Otherwise, I will just be one like he is

Since I can't be him, I'm all there is


[Verse 2: Keybone]

I was born in the AM, by night, there was mayhem, by right, I will slay them

Way them that have been thinking they are deep with it

Claims loving music like they sleep with it

If you ever tell a lie, try to stick with it, did you get it?

Everything is seen from how you look at it

You can call it a game, I'm trying to be a crook at it

There's nothing wrong with being me

Ask a few amongst the people that have probably seen me

I'm always fly, with little or no bling-bling

I'm all about the work, I'm here to rap and sing-sing

Be careful haters, cos I will also swing slings

Keep my name out of your mouth, you will be in peace

If my name ever slips out of your mouth, you will be diseased

I'm all about the biz, no time for violence, nothing but platinums and diamonds

I'm doing this all day, I ain't retiring

After foreplay, it's sure I'm firing


[Chorus: Keybone]

I was born like this

But I had to be reborn like this

Otherwise, I will just be one like he is

Since I can't be him, I'm all there is


[Verse 3: Keybone]

Well, I'm of one of those without a silver spoon

Shout out to my loved ones, I will see y'all soon

I'm over the moon, I'm on to reign, we are not the same

I am ill, not insane, I can feel it in my brain and veins

I may never be like Romeo, at least for now, lets say your oreo

Shawty is inspired by my glory though

She like the way the story goes

He's a dreamer, he's creamer, rides in a Benz and Beamer

Some of his friends seem seemer

It's got to be the stardom, not really the bars storm

The outcome led me to dropping an album

To keep the streets serenaded cos it's been jaded by wack MCs

Can somebody tell somebody else the boss is back

Everyone of you should watch your plaques

Imma take them and break them

These bars I disperse on this beat, let it shake them and ache them

{Chorus: Keybone]

I was born like this

But I had to be reborn like this

Otherwise, I will just be one like he is

Since I can't be him, I'm all there is
